    Looking at the sign While the spelling is not right The sentiment is… A cute little sign on a door in a cafe in Amsterdam. It was so sweet. So was the carrot cake – yum! ….. I have been nominated by Pommepal at Gypsy Life to post 5 photos over 5 days, with accompanying stories/musings/notes and…

  • Momentarily Terrified

    There’s a constant drone in an airplane. If you remove your headphones, you can listen to it. But inevitably you will stop hearing it. Until there’s a change in the frequency, the timbre of the sound. Then there’s that feeling in your tummy. Why did the sound change? You steal a few furtive glances at the…

    Amsterdam City in Living Colour

    I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts 😉 Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was…

    Forces of Nature (WPC)

    With my frequent travels, I am often in the sky, taking photos out the window but these photos showing the power of storms were all taken with my iPhone, feet planted firmly on the ground. Some of these I’ve posted before.   Awesome storm clouds in Lorne, Victoria.  Massive storm cloud brewing above my back garden…

  • Beauty in the Mundane

    Beauty in the Mundane

    I was filling my car with fuel the other day, when I looked up and was struck by the shape of the carpark structure of the shopping centre next door. As a regular at Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, I of course had my camera with me. I took these shots with my Olympus OMD EM5…

    Amsterdam People (B&W)

    I think I’ve already mentioned that I took a lot of photos during my 50 hours with the lovely Lucile in Amsterdam, so I wanted to share the photos gradually with you. Today, I’m sharing my black and white images of the people of Amsterdam. Some of these were taken during a walk through the…

  • Flowers of Amsterdam

    Flowers of Amsterdam

    Here’s my second post on my whirlwind trip to Amsterdam. You can see my first post here. Today, I want to show you the flowers. We found these in big planters outside the Eye Film Institute. Some of them seem like they’re made of tissue paper. Also, there’s a special little surprise in the mix…  …

  • Separation Binds

    Separation Binds

      The panels of glass in this very large window are separated by thick metal strips. The thick metal strips bind the glass panels together to form a very large window. This could be a post about construction.  It could be about architecture. It could be about seeing the world as glass half full or…

    Lucile’s Red Bridge

      Yesterday, I posted Blogger Babes in London – a wonderful meet up between Justine from Eclectic Odds n Sods, Lucile from Bridging Lacunas and myself. It was such a wonderful day with truly remarkable people! When I left Justine’s, I travelled to Amsterdam and was met by the lovely Lucile and her husband and I…

  • Spectacular Skies

    Spectacular Skies

    The joys of jet lag. I crashed into bed at 9:30 last night and am wide awake this morning at 3:30am! Hopefully this is the last of it!! Usually, my photos of the sky are taken from within an airplane, but I couldn’t resist these shots from the ground recently here in Brisbane. Taken with…
